The effect of Cu2+, Ca2+, Mg2+and Zn2+ on the interaction between nitroglycerin and bovine serum albumin was investigated. The bimolecular quenching rate constant, the Stern-Volmer quenching constant, the binding constants and the number of binding sites were calculated in the absence and presence of Cu2+, Ca2+, Mg2+and Zn2+. The quenching constants of nitroglycerin to bovine serum albumin were increased in the presence of metal ions. Static quenching mechanism was also confirmed. The binding constants of nitroglycerin to bovine serum albumin were influenced by different metal ions. The enthalpy change, free energy chang, entropy change and the distance between the donor and the acceptor at different temperatures were calculated. The results indicated that energy transfer from bovine serum albumin to nitroglycerin occurs with high probability.
